The Subject Choice Process in TCG Tomorrow: Fill in the initial online preference form (This doesn t commit you to anything, but allows us create optimal subject bands) On Monday, we will issue hard copy subject choice forms Complete this carefully and submit by Friday 12th
The Subject Choice Process in TCG STRICT closing date: 5.00pm, Friday 12th April Where available, these will be your final subject choice for September Negotiation of some subjects is usually necessary Some change may be possible then, but isn t guaranteed
Change of mind in September? YES. No problem provided there is a place in the course you wish to move into But no discussion of this until then Final date for change of mind: 30th September
Important Factors to Note You need SIX STRONG subjects for CAO points Subjects progress from Junior Cert ask your teachers about the differences Choose honestly, not tactically Don t rush things talk to teachers, talk to Support for Learning Dept Late returns lose all voting rights and priority An extra subject can be a BIG advantage (but takes work)
The Extra Eighth Subject!
The Extra Eighth Subject We have 2/3 spare periods in the week (no R.E.)
The Extra Eighth Subject We have 2/3 spare periods in the week (no R.E.) Extra Eighth is a chance to attempt an EXTRA Leaving Cert subject
The Extra Eighth Subject We have 2/3 spare periods in the week (no R.E.) Extra Eighth is a chance to attempt an EXTRA Leaving Cert subject Big emphasis is still on the main subjects
The Extra Eighth Subject We have 3 spare periods in the week (no R.E.) Extra Eighth is a chance to attempt an EXTRA Leaving Cert subject Big emphasis is still on the main subjects 2/3 periods a week = responsibility on student to cover the course
The Extra Eighth (2/3 periods each) R.E. LCVP Applied Maths Classical Studies Economics Art Portfolio Extra Irish/DCG/etc NOT Homework
The Extra Eighth Subject If there s any other subject you can do outside school (eg. Music or an extra language at home), it s well worth doing so!
LCVP Leaving Cert Vocational Programme A Dept of Ed scheme to improve personal and vocational skills Fits the 2/3 periods available to the ExtraEighth subject Students do the main subjects, but also two extra Link Modules Would suit a student struggling to find a 6th good CAO subject Would NOT suit an extremely academic student (66, 46, 28 pts)
LCVP Leaving Cert Vocational Programme 60%Portfolio 40%Written exam - Curriculum Vitae - Enterprise Plan - Career Investigation - Summary Report - Recorded job interview *
LCA Leaving Cert Applied Completely different (more practical) curriculum Less academic than the standard Leaving Cert Interesting courses, 66% projects 33% exams Restricted Third Level options Resource intensive for schools = requires at least 12 students
